Boot order is a BIOS thing.  Turn off the ICP BIOS, keep the on-board
SCSI BIOS on.

You might need to manually wire down which SCSI bus and drives are
what devices in your kernel config.  i.e., what might have been
called /dev/da0 could now be /dev/da1.

Personally, I'd change /etc/fstab instead of messing with device
naming in the kernel.
